Shark cage diving poses a potential threat to human life and as such could have a dramatic adverse effect on the world acclaimed Jeffrey’s Bay, St Francis Bay and Cape St Francis region. These areas depend on national and international tourism and the local economy is built on this cornerstone. Every year the area hosts international and national surfing competitions and is one of the homes of development surfing in South Africa. With this in mind we believe that Shark cage diving should never receive any consideration for this area given that the departments policy is to err on the side of caution.
